DIMAPUR: The ‘Greater Nagaland’ demand has been alleged to be the core reason behind the killings in Karbi Anglong. The Janajati Faith and Culture Protection Forum, an organization which has its office in Paltan Bazar, Guwahati, while stating that the present turmoil in the region was not a result of ethnic differences said in a press note that the Karbi Anglong district of Assam and its population is by and large against the concept of ‘Greater Nagaland’.
“The motive behind spreading large scale violence is to divide the people of Karbi Anglong on communal lines and thereby to create Kashmir like situation and to compel the native people to leave the place permanently,” the release said. The organization stated that it had made its own enquiries and had then realized that the violence was not based on ethnic grounds but had resulted because of an “external” or “third” force. The senior sections of both the Karbi and Dimasa communities have also been lauded for curbing the violence.
“Some foreign powers, who have their own agenda for their selfish interest, are working behind the forces, whose aim is to achieve the goal of an independent and sovereign Nagaland,” the release further said. As such, the organization has called for a CBI enquiry to investigate and pinpoint the direct and indirect involvement of the “external force” behind the violence and bring the culprits to book and punish them as per the law.
